Unbelievability is off the scale
26 October 2011
This is the first movie I've seen with Chiaki Kuriyama playing the lead.

Okay, how can all the hair appear the way they do ? The way they shows up is totally unbelievable. Then the Yamazaki character is also unbelievable. I didn't like the owner of the beauty salon at all either. She was totally selfish in that she indulged herself as the owner of the shop.

This movie is a caricature of Japanese's propensity to be cruel to one another. The problem of "Ijime" (Treating others without mercy) is quite a phenomenon there, both in schools, and in society. This movie vividly depicts the society that has this nature at its core. Combined with above unbelievability, and also making jokes out of cruel situation makes it an awful combination.

Everyone in this movie were so cold and selfish. I would have loved to see Kiyomi get her comeuppances.

This movie really shows the bad side of Japan, like "Perawan" (Virgin) did for Indonesia.

Recommended for viewing to see the bad side of another society.
